Tonight I tried to bake vegan brownies. I used a recipe from All Recipes, but it called for an ungodly amount of oil (1 cup-- yuck!) so I changed it up a bit. The end result was okay.... the brownies are more cake like and less fudgy that I like, but taste pretty good. The pumpkin is barely noticeable, so in the future I might replace it with smooshed banana or apple sauce (and then I could cut down on the sugar as well!) Also, I might cut down the oil to even 1/4 cup and up the water and/or fruit component.
- 2 cups flour
- 2 cups sugar (I used more like 1 3/4 cups)
- 3/4 cup dutch cocoa powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 3/4 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup coffee
- 1/4 cup water
- handful of dark chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350, grease 9 x 13 pan. Combine dry ingredients and then whisk in wet ingredients. Spread half the batter in the pan, sprinkle with chocolate chips, and spread with other half. Bake for 30 minutes. Enjoy!
